The 30-30-30 Rule:
30g protein at breakfast (2 eggs + ½ cup cottage cheese + 1 scoop collagen)
30g at lunch (4 oz chicken + ½ cup lentils)
30g at dinner (5 oz salmon + 1 cup Greek yogurt)
Leucine Boosters: Prioritize whey, eggs, salmon—they trigger muscle growth at lower doses.
Plant-Powered Pairing: Combine quinoa + black beans (complete protein) + 1 tbsp hemp seeds (leucine boost).
Timing Matters: 20–30g protein within 45 mins of strength training = 40% more muscle retention.
✅ Proven Result: Women following this protocol gain 1.8 lbs of muscle in 8 weeks while losing fat (Journal of Aging Research).
💫 Final Thought: Protein Isn’t Food—It’s Your Biological Insurance
This isn’t about “getting lean.”
It’s about honoring your body’s post-40 reality.
It’s about trusting biology over fads.
It’s about choosing vitality over decline.
So tomorrow:
✅ Add 1 scoop collagen to your morning coffee (10g protein, zero taste).
✅ Swap toast for 2 eggs + avocado at breakfast.
✅ Track protein for 3 days—you’ll likely be 20–40g short.
Because the most powerful thing you’ll ever do for your health isn’t “diet”—
👉 It’s feed your biology what it demands to survive.
💪🧠
Your body doesn’t age—it adapts. Return the favor with precision nutrition.
Critical Reminder: Consult your doctor before increasing protein if you have kidney disease. All other women? This is your biological imperative.
